Hedera, post-quantum cryptography, and SHA-384: the rules institutions were waiting for

Hedera, post-quantum cryptography, and SHA-384 shape the rules institutions operate under. Every part of it traces back to a named, primary source.

The Regulatory Signal

This material is about the licensing and legal environment around the ecosystem. The primary source is the Hedera post-quantum cryptography article, with supporting material from the Hedera older PQC article and the NIST post-quantum cryptography project.

What This Means For Hedera

What it changes for the Hedera ecosystem: clearer rules can reduce uncertainty for builders and institutional users. The broader research trail also includes the NIST finalized post-quantum standards release, the NIST FIPS 203 ML-KEM standard, and the NIST FIPS 204 ML-DSA standard.

One caveat for honest use: Avoid blanket “Hedera is quantum-proof” wording.
